Hi tim, you adviced:
Mario Wolczko produced something like this years ago - with some bug fixes, since IIRC there was one place where a 17 bit cpu was needed - and you might find files somewhere. You'll need to google both the correct spelling 'wolczko' and a wrong one 'wolzcko' to get info.
Thanks. I mailed Mario and received all I wanted.
And did any one type in the ObjectMemory implementation from the Blue Book?
Well it would be pretty much an essential part of the whole thing so I think you can be fairly confident that Mario's file(s) would have it. An interpreter without the object memory stuff would be as much use as a chocolate teacup...
You're right. Mario's file does contain a MemoryObject.
To make any use of it you'd have to also create or obtain an image file of the correct format along with the sources and changes files.
I've got two of them. One from 1983 and one from 1988. Including sources and changes files. I run the '83 vintage with the Hobbes Emulator. And I want to run them with a Unix VM I am trying to build. But don't wait for it. :-)
Greetings and thanks, Wolfgang

Do not forget in the future to put all that material on the web :)
